You simply put charcoal into the top, some sort of firelighter (or even paper towel soaked in oil) underneath, and in 15-25 unattended minutes you have red hot coals! It's enabled me to do way more midweek BBQing - I even fire up the grill just for a couple of steaks in winter now as I much prefer keeping all the smoke and grease outside instead of in the kitchen. One thing I'd say is to be aware of just how large this is. Obviously this is a great thing for filling a large BBQ with hot coals but it is quite large to store, plus you have to light quite a few coals at once. I've found if I only need a few briquettes to do a couple of steaks, it's best to stack them on one side of the chimney starter and position the firelighters under that side. Spreading them evenly around the bottom doesn't always seem to get an even light when there are so few. But other than that, it really is foolproof. No lighter fluid, no waiting 45 minutes for the grill to be at temp, just blazing hot coals in 20-25 mins max. It is really great. Review: Fire starting made easy. - I treated myself to a new barbeque this summer and up until now i've always used instant light charcoal bags to get things started. However after researching things I felt it was time that I got myself one of these so I have a bit more control on starting the fire. The product works great and after about 20 minutes my charcoal was burning lovely and ready to be added to the barbeque. It does produce a lot of smoke when first started but that might be down to the charcoal I was using. Its well built and holds more than enough to get a fairly large barbeque going, The extra wire handle thing seems like it gets in the way but once you go to tip the charcoal out it makes a lot of sense and really helps with that process. The price is good and I imagine it will last me many years. All I can say is that having some heat proof gloves while using this is a must. ## Features - Fast Ignition: Designed to light charcoal briquettes efficiently without lighter fluid, the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter helps you get coals ready quickly for authentic charcoal barbecuing flavour - Purposeful Design: The cone-shaped bottom grate and ventilated chamber help improve airflow around charcoal, supporting faster lighting and allowing fire starter cubes to ignite efficiently - Durable Build: Made from hard-wearing aluminised steel, this chimney starter is built for repeated use and supports reliable performance during regular charcoal barbecuing - Easy Handling: A sturdy side handle with a heat shield and flip-up helper handle allow for two-handed control, making it easier to pour hot coals accurately into your barbecue - Convenient Size: The large 6 L capacity holds approximately 2.5 kg of standard charcoal briquettes, ensuring efficient fuel preparation for family meals and larger barbecue gatherings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000WEOQV8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 434 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 3 in Charcoal Starters | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (28,074) | | Date First Available | 18 Feb. 2008 | | Department | Outdoor Living | | Item display height | 30.5 centimetres | | Item display length | 19 centimetres | | Item display weight | 1.5 Kilograms | | Item display width | 19 centimetres | | Item model number | 7416 | | Item volume | 74415 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Weber-Stephen Products | | Material type | Aluminium | | Part number | 7416 | | Power source type | Charcoal | | Product Dimensions | 32.26 x 20.57 x 31.75 cm; 1.37 kg | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Weber - **Product dimensions:** 12.7D x 8.1W x 12.5H centimetres - **Special feature:** Compact - **Colour:** Silver - **Fuel type:** Charcoal ## Images ![Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter for Charcoal Barbecues/BBQ Accessory, Lights Charcoal Briquettes Quickly Without Lighter Fluid, Aluminised Steel, 6 L Capacity, 32 cm x 20.5 cm x 32.5 cm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qftFACaeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you get a carry case for this?** A: Hi, I'm sorry but there is no carry case for this item. **Q: Is it good for the portable webber?** A: It can be used for any BBQ that it'll physically fit on. **Q: Is this really better than a £5 Asda chimney starter?** A: Yes much better, for one it is much larger so you can heat up all your coals in it. Worth every penny. My husband says it’s the best thing I have ever bought him. **Q: What sort of maintenance is required? How do you clean it?** A: The chimney starter will only have ash left over from the charcoal so just wiping the chimney starter will a rag after use is the only maintenance required. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magic, but be aware of the size *by S***M on 4 February 2026* I'm new to BBQing and this is an absolutely magical item.

Works very well. This filled with charcoal will fill my main bbq and the smaller smoker on the side. If your tempted, make sure you check the size. It's quite big which is perfect for a larger bbq but possible overkill for a small bbq. ## Frequently Bought Together - Weber 7416 Rapidfire Chimney Starter, Silver, 7.5 - Weber Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill, 22-Inch, Black - Weber 7403 Char-Basket Charcoal Briquet Holders --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/48282950-weber-rapidfire-chimney-starter-for-charcoal-barbecues-bbq-accessory-lights](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/48282950-weber-rapidfire-chimney-starter-for-charcoal-barbecues-bbq-accessory-lights) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
